Online/IT: CSO Online – Australia, 8 November 2011
This is a result of an email interview with CSO Australia with Tim Nagy, Senior Systems Engineer from Juniper Networks. Questions around the main challenges faced by CSOs and most common mistakes made by CSOs are asked in the interview. One of Tim Nagy’s quotes: “The most common mistake is to ignore the potential security threats that are emerging on mobile platforms. Many CSOs either don't recognise that mobility platforms are potential threat vectors or they don't have the time or resources to focus on securing mobile devices. However, every organisation today needs to have a mobile device policy, a plan for securing these devices, and the tools to do that job”.

This is a result of an interview Mark Iles, vice president of Juniper Networks ANZ conducted with ARN post Juniper’s achievement as BRW’s Best Places to Work. Mark was quoted as saying: “Having a good incentives package is table stakes in the current market,” Juniper vice-president, Australia and New Zealand, Mark Iles, said. “You need to make sure you’re paying to market and there’s a good incentive structure behind it. But it’s not the be all and end all. We don’t aim to be the highest paying company in the marketplace. Any company that did that would be mad.”
